Extreme Addiction

Leh Ying found herself acquainted with the higher echelons she should not aspire to, and when the profligate young master Liu Huaiying pursued her relentlessly, she had no escape. A fleeting glimpse of Young Master Xu, Xu Jingxi's appearance, had her heart fluttering, and her spirit moved; the Xu family was the center of power within Forty-Nine City, and only he could change the game. On a snowy night, by the door of the Mercedes Benz G Class, she tiptoed and gently cupped her palm to light a cigarette for Xu Jingxi. The man’s lips leisurely wrapped around the cigarette, and he leaned slightly towards her. His clear-cut face partially lowered into the backlight’s shadow, the flame at the tip of the cigarette flickered faintly between them. When he finally looked up, his eyes were calm and indifferent, and he asked in a rising inflection, “What do you want?” Leh Ying, “Only what you can give.” Others quickly realized, “That Xu Jingxi, born into high chambers, his flesh and bones saturated with a profound desire for power. For someone like him, even feelings are superfluous. What do you have to gamble your status with him?” Keeping her by his side was merely Xu Jingxi’s pastime for his loneliness. He was accustomed to acting out scenes, she never sought status, and turned to leave the capital to hold an art exhibition. Just as she packed and entered the elevator, Xu Jingxi stood tall in the center, his index finger slowly hooking the fine bone necklace at the front of her neck and gently pulling her back as she moved to step out. ** That Valentine's Day night, within the Third Ring, luxury hotels were fully booked, and some witnessed the entire BVG Hotel being reserved by Young Master Xu. What left the deepest impression on Leh Ying was the man half-kneeling on the bed, wearing a loosely tied bathrobe, biting on a pen cap, and picking up a Thin Gold Calligraphy Style brush to inscribe three characters along the edge of her collarbone—Xu Jingxi.

Power and Games (1)

In her boredom, she dipped a silver spoon into Bernese sauce on a porcelain dish and sketched an abstract image of a doll.

She rubbed her stiff and sore neck, "Schreyer."

Schreyer, who was standing behind her, bent down, "I'm here, have you eaten your fill yet?"

She definitely hadn't eaten her fill. The food may have been exquisite, featuring the rare and expensive Maya sea cucumbers, but it wasn't to her taste. It was a world apart from the fussy Western palate; she would prefer a sip of clear porridge over shark fins and bird's nest, Schreyer thought.

Leh Ying stole a glance in Xu Jingxi's direction, who was engrossed in conversation with top Roman politicians, too busy to spare her a glance.

The old European castle was bathed in warm candlelight, brimming with aristocratic air, a backdrop for power struggles, the turbulent business world, and successful politicians.
